I'll look for them but there were quotes from Reece that circulated here in the spring that he was curious or wondering why anyone was surprised about not adding OL
You know what, I had a bit of hope that TE Donnell and a conditional draft pick could be sent to a team for a starting RT, some veteran who has good youngsters behind him and the team needs a starting TE.
Donnell's play today tells the league he isn't worth anything. Just terrible.
I am going out on a limb here but I think Dallas beats us rather handily. Don't care about the grief either.
Yes, based on pre-season, so far you could definitely come to that conclusion, however, we'll also have our starters in the whole game and anything can happen on any given Sunday.
Let's put it this way.....expectations will certainly be pretty low until we show otherwise. I think the Giants thrive on that, but we'll see how this team responds.
I see the oline sucked - saw comments on how bad Flowers was.
How did Hart do at LG? Didn't even know he ever practiced there. Maybe a reason (or part of the reason) that Flowers looked bad.
Anyway, a few comments that Hart looked ok. Didn't see any that he was bad.
Maybe he's our training camp QB to make our DBs feel confident ... Or maybe we even need to find a 3rd string QB to cut later during preseason ... Thomas may not even be good enough for that role ...
The offense can't get going without the Oline doing its job, but TEs are an issue too. Next week is the rehearsal for the regular season and the Starters should be playing well into the 2nd half. Lots more work next week and a big test against the JETS defense. If we can somehow show we can move the ball against them, then I'll start to feel a little more comfortable, but boy would I hate to be the players this week.

"We worked too hard to put a performance like that on film. We need to take a long look in the mirror." - Coach McAdoo
Donnell needs to go. We need the best blocker at TE, and that clearly isn't him.
I'd consider calling Beatty. He can still pass protect. Then maybe flip Flowers to RT. It won't happen, but not doing anything is unacceptable. I'd also get some new OL when the cuts start. Flowers, Hart, and Newhouse were all awful. Add in Donnell's whiffs, and we have no run game.
The Giants had probably the strongest ties in the league to that No More DV/DA campaign, so for them to duck this the way McAdoo, Reese, etc are doing is pretty weak.
ahead and do that Mark. BBI is pretty good at that. There were actually some posters who understood that based on our last two games. They must be idiotic replies too. Thanks for the insight. We can talk on the 11th
So you're saying he wasn't grabbed from behind on the play with the ball in the air? Or you're saying it doesn't matter if they were denied a chance at a TD because he was grabbed from behind while the ball was in the air?
will soon be unemployed NFL(not for long).
I love Flowers, but he's a RT or RG.
And either our receivers were wearing ankle weights,their pregame meal was pasta, or Bills secondary is superfast.
But glad we got no known injuries.
Mc must have laryngitis by now.
Does not matter how good your skills players are if the OL can't block.
"All should be glad nobody of importance got hurt." ....
This is very true Jim.
Hopefully he's traded by then :X

I'm just happy that we suffered no major injuries.
Oh, and DT Greg Millhouse is looking good this 2nd half.
at 3:00am Monday morning and then go into work late .... and tired.
* Not really sure about the date or time of the replay?
I think they switched it to the Colts game before it ended? WTF?

"We worked too hard to put a performance like that on film. We need to take a long look in the mirror." - Coach McAdoo
- Beckham blatantly held on long 4th down pass (no call).
- JPP blatantly held on McCoy TD reception (no call).
The Beckham play cost them a chance at a long TD on the opening drive.

Nassau did nothing, but he's not going anywhere.
The first team D was solid.
Deayon is to short to play on the outside.
Okwara was excellent. Milhouse had a solid game.
Get a veteran kicker for game one.
before the weekend is over. Meet the new Giants, same as
the old Giants it appears.
Uh-oh.
So did Johnny Mara, he'll just pay him instead!
Of course he did.

Can we please bookmark and archive this post? I wish Kivorka had written it in all caps, that's the only way it could have been more idiotic.
